Apple - Pre-Owned - MacBook Pro 13.3" Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 4GB Memory - 500 GB Hard Drive

Apple MacBook Pro Pre-owned Laptop: The inside story. And the outside story too.With its durable unibody enclosure, Multi-Touch trackpad and energy-efficient design, MacBook Pro looks beautiful. And works beautifully.Strength. Lightness. Beauty. Seamlessly integrated.MacBook Pro is machined from a single piece of aluminium, an engineering breakthrough that replaced many parts with just one. It's called the unibody. And the first time you pick up a MacBook Pro, you'll notice the difference it makes. The entire enclosure is thinner and lighter than other notebooks. It looks polished and refined. And it feels strong and durable - perfect for life inside (and outside) your briefcase or backpack.

Thinking of making the leap? Think no more.

from Green Bay, WI

For years and years I considered switching to Mac, always coming back to the best bang for the buck argument. All of my programs were Windows-based. I'm a media producer and have a bunch of money sunk into Adobe Software. I'm also a gamer with a fair amount of Windows games. My caveat for the gamers is this: I bought a PS3 and stopped chasing PC gaming. I wanted a portable machine that was powerful, simple and light, and I could develop on in a pinch on the road and plug into a larger display for the majority of my development in my home office.

I waffled between the i7 15" and the i5 "13. I opted to drop four extra gigs of RAM into the 13" and it's been a stable, honest performer in the short term. I'm no Mac evangelist, but I started as an iPod Touch user, then graduated to the iPad and an iPhone and I'm now a convert.

The Mac is a dream. It's intuitive, simple, quick and simply works.

I can't wait to buy my next one so I can bequeath this one to my wife and stop playing home IT administrator in my off time.

What's great about it: Everything Windows ain't.

What's not so great: Should have made the leap sooner.

I would recommend this to a friend!
